ah shit they got the queers with this one; normally i can ignore these :(
It's rather ironic how they say [b]THIS IS BAD[/b], if this is so bad to you, it's a sign of you having a serious privilege, usually the sheltered upper-middle class life kind of privilege.
Honestly I agree w/ pretty much everything they said other than maybe the mansplaining one, seems pretty reasonable. I think the biggest issue people have with the video is in how its presented in a kinda condescending manner and how it singles out white dudes. This video would have been received a lot better if it was advice directed at everyone instead of singling out a particular group
also im taking them up on the kanye offer, hes mine now

BLM is the biggest hate movement we've seen in recent times, no idea what's to agree with them on that one.

Idk how to embed a tweet, but this Sky Williams vid kinda nails most of it.

I think thats a bit of an overstatement, and besides its less of a concrete organization or centralized movement and more of just a slogan or hashtag to rally behind. Its more of an idea or a concept that got appropriated and saw widespread use as a banner to protest behind (or spread hate behind). There are just as many great people who would say that they're pro BLM as there are shitty people who do terrible things in the name of BLM. In fact, I'd wager that there are more good people than bad, at least in my experiences in protests and local organized movements.
Just as a general concept, I think everyone can agree that "Black Lives Matter". Because they do, thats self-evident. That's what makes it so effective, is because its something that should be plainly obvious and 100% agreeable but isn't something thats always demonstrated in our society.
Also the fact that you're saying this in a time where the KKK and Neo-Nazi groups still exist is a bit silly

They exist, I think there are less in the US but there are at the very least plenty in Europe. It's obviously not socially acceptable and incredibly taboo to be within a 10 foot radius of those groups (and for good reason) so they're obviously less in the public eye and less visible, but they do definitely still exist, and their ideas are more widespread than their numbers.

I am not quite sure what you're trying to say with this. Does that somehow make BLM ok and legit? Or does that mean racism towards whites is ok? Or what exactly? Just because one bad group exists does not mean another group is suddenly good.

No, I'm saying that your statement that "BLM is the biggest hate movement we've seen in recent times" is ridiculous and hyperbolic in nature. It's detached from the truth. You keep speaking of "BLM does this" or "BLM is ok and legit" when BLM isnt really a monolithic group that you can refer to in such a fashion. As I said earlier, its less of an organized movement/group and more of a moniker and an ideal that people rally behind. You'd be better off criticizing the tendencies of the modern social justice movement as a whole than singling out BLM. BLM isnt even a well-defined group, much less a "hate movement".
I think calling out the entirety of BLM as a hate group is around the same principle as telling all white guys to chill out and be better people
On a less outrageous scale sure, but the "blame the entire thing because it's simpler" thing is still there.
Ohh, it's for 'American' white guys.
This is the most blatant attempt to cling onto relevancy that I have ever seen.

that's a pretty solid way to describe MTV for the last 15 years
why don't they make new years resolutions for black women
[QUOTE=Mr_Awesome;51556466]why don't they make new years resolutions for black women[/QUOTE]
What would that include? Lose weight and find a baby daddy?
[QUOTE=Mr_Awesome;51556466]why don't they make new years resolutions for black women[/QUOTE]
I'd find it pretty amusing if they did it for multiple groups.
I think that's one way to deal with racism in the future, is to basically make a mockery of it and stereotypes on an even level. Kind of like how Europeans have their bantz.
[sp]though *sniff* maybe I've been *reaches for nose* listening to too much zizek lately lol[/sp]
Blue Lives Matter exists because of the hate speech that BLM does.
This is fucking exhausting. Lets fight racism with racism! Woohooo, I wonder how that'll turn out! Great, right! ha ha
I'd take them more seriously and even admire the blue lives matter people if, on the whole, they actually cared and were offering solutions to the problems that cause the police to be at odds with communities leading to the violence.

BLM should be more concerned with their own neighborhoods. More blacks die in gang shoot outs, robberies and such than "white cops" kill them "for no reason".

Perhaps they're... related issues too?
And just because X is an issue doesn't mean you have to forget Y. There's a lot of activism to improve their communities as well, but the problems plaguing them will require a whole lot more than just activism because the causes run very deep and there's a high amount of friction.
Also, it's not really white cops. It's a systematic issue that leads to our situation with the police in the US. Like half of the cops involved with the freddie gray case were black for example. They also aren't even usually killed for flat-out no reason either; doesn't mean the killings are just.
[sp]also this argument has hilariously been used even against MLK lol[/sp]
Man, yet ANOTHER racist, garbage Buzzfeed-video!
And this is why people are starting to turn off the Mainstream media (Some aren't even white), the Media needs to listen to the people on the other side, not scream people are racists (which is racist too if there doing this to just white people).
Yo they just put the video private
LMFAO
THEY NEED A SAFE SPACE
Video down VIDEO DOWN.
Damage control in effect.
Aw, I didn't get to see it.

consider yourself lucky.
However I'm sure there is a mirror of it somewhere.
American media is so fucking stupid.

Then again things are only about to get worse.

Canada is the same dude. We have some of the most idiotic, retarded, racially biased people that hide under the guise of 'acceptance' and freedom of speech whilst they actively squelch and silence anybody who disagrees with their specific views.
It's like the nazi party saying "we love jews, we just think in the new year they should be doing a little less living". Except, yeah we know full well what they actually want.
Universities are hubs for these people.
Hell, I even feel bad for calling them retarded. At least people who are mentally challenged don't really have a choice in the matter. These are fully functioning human beings who are brainwashed and are actively trying to brain wash others of their retarded unethical views.
Fuck me, /rant.
Funfact: These people are one of the reasons why my girlfriend canceled her courses at UofT next semester and moved to another school. These people are destroying campuses for normal people who just want to learn.
